07.3 TEST FUNCTION

time, quantity and range of feeding are correct – depending on the type
of feed.

(indicates the length of test feeding in seconds).
Use the +/- buttons (9) to set the duration of the test feeding from 30 to

quantity of feed is spread for testing purposes.
Confi rm the test duration with the TEST button (8). The test feeding will
start within 3 seconds.
CAUTION
Keep a distance of minimum 7m from the feeder
for both test and regular operation. Protect your eyes and
extremities! The fast rotation of the feeding engine and the
ejected feed can be harmful.
